Hello,
Went through this guide to OC my 1060 cards, but was not able to do it.
After this command "sudo nvidia-xconfig -a --cool-bits=28 --allow-empty-initial-configuration", on Reboot xorg.conf file is being reset to default. Coolbits option was not found in the file
![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif)
and Overclocking is not enabled on GPU's.
Is there any possible solution for this? Please let me know.. Thanks
Using Ubuntu 16.04, nvidia-384 drivers.
xorg.conf file after coolbits command:
# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
# nvidia-xconfig: version 384.90 (buildmeister@swio-display-x86-rhel47-05) Tue Sep 19 18:13:03 PDT 2017
